Recently my K3 Keyboard has been totally locking on the ScreenSaver for no apparent reason?

I can be reading it one night, lock it, go to sleep and try and read it the next day and it won't budge from the ScreenSaver until I plug it into the wall for a while. It then does a full reboot (with the progress bar scrolling) and appears to be normal.

I have done the 20 hour recharge and still it appears to do the same, it doesn't happen all the time, just now and again.

I am on the latest firmware and I am jailbroken with NiLuJe's Jailbreak and a screensaver hack.

It has worked fine up till about 2 weeks ago when it started doing this, I haven't changed anything in this time?

Anyone have any ideas!

Cheers

One of these is to check to see if the Kindle's search indexing is having problems with one of the books. When this happens the processor runs full tilt until if finishes the indexing. When it can't finish it will run the battery down quickly, a few days to a week with a new battery and perhaps only a day with a aged lower capacity battery.

Do the following:

Wait several hours after adding a book to the Kindle.

Put the Kindle on the AC adapter or be certain the battery is fully charged

Go to the Home screen

Type some garbage characters (e.g. "qqzz", ...) that won't be in any book

Select "Search"

Wait...

Wait...

When the screen appears reporting the search results it will list the number of un-indexed books, if any. If there are un-indexed books click on the number and see if it will list the books. If so, delete those books and test the Kindle for a few days. If battery life improves, add the deleted books one at a time over several days, repeating the above to see if the indexing goes correctly this time.

My K3 has chocked on books several times over the last 2+ years. I notice this when battery life seem to be extremely short. Deleting the book and reloading it has, so far, always worked to resolve the issue.

At 2+ years of daily use my battery life has dropped a bit. I've noticed that I need to charge every 2-3 weeks these days, when originally I could go 4-5 weeks between charges. This type of battery looses capacity after time and usage. Initially, this loss of capacity will be gradual but at some point toward the end of its usefullness its capacity will start to drop off very quickly. When that happens, you need a new one.
